No more landfill or incineration. Swancote Energy provides a comprehensive service for collecting, destroying and recycling food waste.

A cost effective, eco friendly solution for food waste management

Swancote Energy works across the entire food industry providing a reliable resource for the secure destruction of food waste.  

Over the years we have continued to invest in people and machinery in order to deliver a comprehensive resource for handling all types of commercial food waste in all types of packaging. And we can tailor our services, whether for collection, disposal or certification, to suit individual client requirements.

“We work for companies large and small, some of whom have contracted accounts, while others deal with us on an ad hoc basis when the need arises.”

Unique capabilities for food waste recycling

Many of our capabilities have been developed with the specific demands of the food industry in mind. For example, our award winning food waste recycling facility is the only one in the UK equipped with a TOMRA optical sorter. So we are uniquely able to sort and recycle different types of plastic food packaging (we also recycle glass, metal and cardboard packaging of course).

The heart of our business is our anaerobic digestion plant which converts food waste into gas, which we in turn use to generate electricity for the national grid. The income we earn from this and from recycling packaging helps keep costs down. So our food waste disposal services are good value, as well as being great for the environment.
